JAMES SPEAR, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

FIRE-PLACE HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,120, dated May 3, 1887.

Application filed February 13, 1886. Serial No. 191,800. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, JAMES SPEAR, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Heating-Stoves,whichimprovementis fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents a partial side elevation and partial Vertical section of a heating-stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a partial top view and partial horizontal section thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two gures.

My invention relates to improvements in the class of stoves known as lire-place heaters, and has for its object the provision of increased heat in the apartment in which the stove is located. For this purpose the stove is set forward to an increased extent, and the drums are similarly disposed, andan outwardly-projecting screen is employed to cover the parts that are advanced, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the body of a stove of the order of a nre-place heater, B the jacket at the back of the same, and C the front drums partially within the jacket.

4o jacket and thus supplies the upper apartment,

this unequal distribution of heat being objectionable. To obviate this I inclose less of the rear portion of the stove within the jacket,

the said jacket being secured to the stove in rear of the front line of the drums located at -the side of and in front of the rear line, A',

of the stove. The pipes B are also located this provision the apartment containing the stove receives an increased quantity of heat, while the jacket is sufficiently supplied for the upper apartment. The products of combustion pass from the upper portion of the tire-pot A' into the drums C, which are on 60 both sides of the body of tne stove and in front of the rear line thereof, and thence into the chambers B2 at the rear of the base of the stove, thence upward into the pipes B', and so escape into the iiue. pipes are all within the jacket B, and aid in increasing the quantity of heat within the same,

thereby utilizing a large quantity of the heat ofthe products ofcombustion which would otherwise be wasted.

The advance of the stove and drumsv necessarily exposes certain unfinished or rough portions of the top and sides of the former, as well as the top and side portions of the latter. These portions are covered by a screen, E, which projects horizontally forward from the face D of the mantel or breastof the chimney, so as to overhang said portions and conceal the same, it being made of metal of open-work,

These drums, chambers, and

preferably of the form of an arch, and also go serving as a finish to and ornament for the stove, it being evident that while a large portion of the body of the stove which contains the tire is projected into the room and an increased heat in said room is the result, a

great quantity of heat is also thrown into the room from the rear of the heater, the same escaping under the screen and through the openings thereof.

I am aware that it is not new to construct 9o a iire-place heater with heatingdrurns within the jacket thereof; neither is it new to provide a stove with an ornamentalscreen, and such I do not claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A tire-place heater having drums alongside of and in front of the rear line of the body of the stove, Vand provided with a jacket coniq nected with the body of the stove on a line in the rear of the front line of said drums, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.`
